Template:Xtag

Template documentation

This template outputs a formatted MediaWiki parser or extension tag that links to the help or extension page about it. It is similar in function and behavior to {{Tag}}, but it links the tag and defaults to an open value for the second positional (unnamed) parameter.

Parser and extension tags

For a machine-generated list, see Special:Version#mw-version-parser-extensiontags, it may include tags not documented here.

<gallery>, <includeonly>, <noinclude>, <nowiki>, <onlyinclude> and <pre>

Extension tags

<categorytree>, <DPL>, <DynamicPageList>, <imagemap>, <indicator>, <inputbox>, <poem>, <ref>, <references>, <section> and <syntaxhighlight> (alias <source>)

Parameters

• unnamed first parameter or |1= (mandatory): the name of the tag

  • o or open (default): display only the opening tag of an open-and-closed pair
